...There is probably a better name for this

Scenario

I'm building a system that will look at a lot of transaction data and determine if each transaction qualifies for one of many criteria. At a high level, I'm asking "Does this transaction qualify for any or all of sales criteria A, B, C,...,N?"

How I skipped the controller in an ASP.NET MVC View

The goal is to present a search bar that shows results to the user, while still allowing for a direct link to a search result without using the ASP.NET controller to pass the search identifier to the view. Why without playing with the controller? Why not.

Recently, while developing a MVVM app, I found a use case for using JavaScript to get the querystring from the current page. In this particular case, the page pulls a page with a search bar, but I want to be able to link to the specific search results without requiring user interaction.
